“We are proud of our mass comm students and the hard work they have put in,” said Chaz Maddi, KMVC-TV Manager and Instructor of Broadcast. “It’s a lot of hours, and a lot of effort, but this kind of recognition from the judges, who work in mass media, underscores the progress our program continues to make and the direction in which we are headed.”
